    drivability

    Stock 305. about 95% of the late 70s and 80's squarebodies have/had 305s. I have had this discussion with many people that the 305s do not like a crap load of timing in them.

    drivability

    Though to answer your question, I didn't check the total advance. Or if we did, I forgot because it was where it should have been at 10.

    drivability

    Initial yes. I put a new dist in about... 4 months ago. I had it set to 10 and it backfired always at cruise and high load. Wouldn't run if secondaores are open. At the advise of someone, I dropped the timing down to 4. Less backfiring but still did. And could use the secondaries.

    drivability

    Ok, its been a long time that I have bitched about my truck. Ha. Anyways, so let me run something by y'all. Ive had all these drivability issues. So, I started running 91 octane and it improved a bit. I think at the same time I fatted up my idle mixture. My gas mileage got a little better to 10...

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    I need to return the pump. I think Im just going through all the pumps they have till I find one that works within the range. Sadly, I do not know of a way to test it without actually installing the sob. Now that I have the 22's off, that should be an easier job.

    Sorry guys, Ha. I havent been on much. Work has me pegged out at 100% duty cycle right now and then the misses does too when I get home. I havent. Haha.

    Airbags

    I could be super wrong, and Im sure someone will correct me, but I think you'll only get 4" before cutting anything, 5" you'll need to cut the bed supports, and anything lower, you'll need to c notch.

    how much for a used compressor

    I have not. Its been pulled off the truck, but he guarantees that it works. No, he could be full of shit too. I dont trust anyone I dont know, as far as I can throw them. So I was thinking $25 on a gamble. If not, its like 175 for a reman from the part stores, right?

    Just like the title asks, how much would you pay for a used compressor? Dude wants me to make him an offer.

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    Now that it is kind purring like a kitten, looks like Im pulling timing. I fattened the idle back up a little bit and took it for a drive, and when getting above 2k rpms, it doesnt like it. But its 1222 am. So Ill just stay out of the throttle till Im back in town.

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    Just an FYI, I live about an bour, with good traffic, from Summit in Arlington Tx. I ordered a part last night. It was $10 for S&H but $0 for ground. I ordered it right before 9 pm and tracking shows it at my door at 318 pm today. All of the sudden, I don't feel bad for basically $10 over night...

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    So far, it doesnt mind the timing. i dont think, its hard to tell when the carb is getting too much pressure. This is the issue I have been fighting with the Qjet and the Holley.

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    Yep. Delphi pump from autozone for a pre-emissions truck, and its putting out 10 psi. Which, searching on the net is common. So do I: 1. Keep going back to Autozone and keep trying pumps till its correct 2. Just put a pressure regulator on since this is a common issue

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    Should be that much of a difference. Especially since I got the 22s off the thing. And I should be able to break the tires loose.

    Mechanical pump pressure regulator

    FIXED: talk was supposed to be you. I cant type on my phone. I have a qjet that was rebuilt professionally. Thought there was a problem with it being too rich and the float. I pulled off the hat and went through it myself and the float is set correctly. The metering rods are 51's and the...
